I know, Lav! If you read the article you'll see that the reasoning just doesn't hold up. They have to make too many assumptions and then connect it to their belief about the spirit being a "force" or "power" and then try and attach some OT scriptures to some NT scriptures, make a few loopty loops, clap their hands and TA DA! They have a new teaching.

It's sad and pretty funny actually that outsiders know more about the JW religion and inner workings than even the JWs themselves. My MIL has been in for about 40 or so years and she was shocked at some of the things she read in the elders book.

I was flipping through the newest Awake this afternoon and stumbled on an interesting article. The title is "Is God Omnipresent?" This is a pretty basic Christian belief, and I thought that the Watchtower was on board with it. But they are not!
Here is a quote from the article:
The fact that Jehovah has a place of dwelling
indicates that he is not in all places at all
times. How, then, can he be aware of what
is happening? (2 Chronicles 6:39) One way
is through his holy spirit, or active force.
The psalmist wrote: “Where can I go from
your spirit, and where can I run away from
your face? If I should ascend to heaven, there
you would be; and if I should spread out my
couch in Sheol, look! you would be there.”
—Psalm 139:7-10.Quite interesting...

DO WE NEED TO BELONG TO A RELIGION TO BE A "SPIRITUAL PERSON"?
by foodalls ini have been noticing people posting on this site have a "deep" spiritual desire, but don't quite know how to find it, or where it is at.. this beg the question...do we need to be involved with a "religion" to find "spirituality"...especially an "organized religion"???.
anyone that has there eyes open can see that all religion is loosing their influence over people around the world...i spent 47 years thinking i was in the "truth" being one of jw's!
and now that i am out...and looking back from the "outside"...all i see is that its just another religion...filled with all the "control-grid" stuff found in any other group.. worse yet...they are worse than other religions...so it begs an answer..is there such thing as a "true religion"???.

Remember how they talk about not buying from vendors. Never really understood that rule. No one follows it anyway. In AZ the temp is usually over 100 during the convention. All the "unfaithful" line up to buy ice cream from the vendors and endure the stink eye from the righteous that suffer in the sun.
